Largest Contentful Paint measured two ways: one throttled lab run, against 28 days of real Chrome users.
Lab (Lighthouse, mobile)
13.1s
one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)
2.6s
75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days
The lab figure is 5× the real-user figure. Both agree there is a problem, and the field data confirms real visitors are affected. This is worth fixing. The metric failing for real users is loading (LCP) and responsiveness (INP).
